He also states that these loans are con fined to urban residence property and that they may be for as much ns six teen thousand dollars and for amounts up to eighty per cent of tiio value of tlic house and lot combined.

It Is these approved mortgagees who are represented In the application for the loans by Mr. Orr. The process of applying for a loan under this plan involves applying to the office of Mr. Orr, or some similar agency, and there receiving the blanks necessary to use in filing the applica tion. These applications are then for warded to the lending agencies, and af ter scrutiny are then forwarded to the state office of the Federal Housing Administration for final approval.

I COLLEGE SUMMER TERM STARTS 6TH _ New Plan at Brevard Enables Students to Secure Full Credits In Summer Brevard College authorities have Just announced the beginning of a special summer quarter beginning Monday, July 6. This special quarter will ex tend through ten full week* ending Saturday, September 12. During this period It will be possible for a student to complete one quarter of work or one-third of a year. Fresh men only will be admitted for thlB quarter. Students entering as freshmen for the first time or freshmen desiring to repeat certain courses will be eligible for entrance. Classes in English, math ematics, chemistry, and history will be conducted. In commenting on this new arrange ment President Coltrane said, “the ad ministration has developed the plan be cause of the. belief that there are a great many students who would prefer to enter in July rather than wait until September. Young people who are not profitably employed wiil find it to their advantage to attend college for the entire quarter." Under a recent ruling of the faculty, students will not be permitted to have part -time employment until they have been In college at least one quarter. This arrangement enables the new stu dent to prove his ability as a student and his adaptability to the Brevard plan of operation. According to the president, new stu dents who may find It necessary to have self-help in order to meet their college expenses will do well to enter In July and thus be eligible for help at the be ginning of the fall quarter, September 14. A student who enters July 8 may re main in college ten weeks for a total charge of 161 00. This provision makes it possible for a student to reduce his expenses for the first quarter to an appreciable extent. It likewise enable* i a student to complete his work in Bre ivard College three months earlier than | he would by entering in September. President Coltrane strongly urge* j freshmen to lake advantage of this new I arrangement. It is his opinion that | “new students will •find It possible to i begin their work in college under more I favorable conditions. Classes will be somewhat smaller and more opportunity for conferences with teachers will be given” It would appear that the entire plan should work to the great advan tage of those who may be Interested.
